Pediatric Chiropractor in Fort Collins, CO

It’s Never Too Early

As more research looks at how spinal and skeletal habits can start early, many parents ask about chiropractic care as one way to support their children’s spinal health as they grow. Parents also ask about birth, growing years, school, and backpacks, and how those fit into their child’s spinal health. At Heart & Hand Chiropractic, you can ask about our Chiropractic Care for Children. At a visit, we can explain what a pediatric chiropractic screening involves.

Infant Problems

Having a sick baby can be a terrifying thing for a parent—particularly for new parents who constantly second-guess themselves about what’s normal and what isn’t. Irritation to an infant’s spine or nervous system could be causing many infant health complaints and could be fixed by simple adjustments to the spine. The following newborn health concerns can be caused by cranial or spinal misalignments:

It’s really never too early to bring your child in for a chiropractic checkup as small problems which begin at birth could pop up any time as the child is learning large motor skills (walking and crawling).

Later Childhood Problems

As your child starts to do larger movements and eventually starts running, climbing trees and riding bikes, small issues that didn’t present themselves earlier might start to show. Also, keep in mind that your son or daughter’s spine is still growing at this point, so small injuries which are a part of most people’s childhoods might have a bigger long-term impact than you think. If you neglect these injuries when they occur, you could cause your child to experience more serious issues as an adult because the problem wasn’t addressed when it first occurred. Remember, too, that adolescent spinal problems like scoliosis can start to present themselves as your child gets older, so a chiropractic checkup is equally important when your children are in their teens as it is when they are in infancy.
